Half Life

Have you ever considered the life-altering impact of an accident or disability? Claire, a young woman in her twenties, experienced this firsthand in 1976 when a horrific accident left her paralyzed from the neck down. Once a fun-loving and social person, Claire now found herself confined to a wheelchair, restricting her movement, ambitions, and social life. Her once-busy social circle was replaced with the four walls of a rehabilitation room, leading her to feel trapped and alone.

Despite her initial struggles and unsuccessful attempts to end her life, Claire eventually moved to a rehabilitation centre where she received a fully equipped room and a powered wheelchair, which gave her newfound independence and confidence. However, something still felt missing in her life. It wasn't until she rediscovered her passion for painting that she found true fulfilment and purpose.

After plodding through the darkness of her half-life, Claire found a new path towards the sunshine and became a renowned mouth painter, even winning an award for her work. Her story is inspiring and shows the power of passion and determination in overcoming life's challenges.
